Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
ECS00IPT
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
PrecautionsECS00IPR
lBefore connecting or disconnecting the A/T assembly har-
ness connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the battery cable from the negative terminal. Because bat-
tery voltage is applied to TCM even if ignition switch is
turned OFF.
lAfter performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
“DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
If the repair is completed the DTC should not be displayed
in the “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.
lAlways use the specified brand of ATF. Refer toMA-14, "REC-
OMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lUse lint-free paper not cloth rags during work.
lAfter replacing ATF, dispose of the waste oil using the methods prescribed by law, ordinance, etc.
lBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. It is important to
prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
lDisassembly should be done in a clean work area.
lUse lint-free paper or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could inter-
fere with the operation of the transmission.
lPlace disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
lAll parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
lGaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transmission is disassembled.
lIt is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
lThe valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
lProperly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
lBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
lExtreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
lAfter overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
lWhen the drain plug is removed, only some of the ATF is drained. Old ATF will remain in torque converter
and A/T fluid cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
toAT-11, "
Changing A/T Fluid",AT-12, "Checking A/T Fluid".

Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
EJS006AK
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)EJS006AL
WARNING:
lCFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant are not compatible. These refrigerants
must never be mixed, even in the smallest amounts. If the refrigerants are mixed and compressor
malfunction is likely occur.
lUse only specified lubricant for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) compo-
nents. If lubricant other than that specified is used, compressor malfunction is likely to occur.
lThe specified HFC-134a (R-134a) lubricant rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The fol-
lowing handling precautions must be observed:
–When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
–When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possi-
ble to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
–Only use the specified lubricant from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of lubri-
cant. Without proper sealing, lubricant will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
–Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refriger-
ant. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service. Addi-
tional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
–Do not allow lubricant (Nissan A/C System Oil Type S) to come in contact with styrofoam parts.
Damage may result.
Contaminated RefrigerantEJS006AM
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
lExplain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
lExplain that recovery of the contaminated refrigerant could damage your service equipment and refriger-
ant supply.
lSuggest the customer return the vehicle to the location of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
lIf you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using onlydedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment.If your facility
does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for avail-
able service. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In
addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
